Bass River Marina

Our 160 seasonal wet slips, plus the more than 120 inside and outside dry rack spaces, allows Bass River Marina to service power boat owners with craft up to 40-feet in length. In addition to seasonal slip rentals, Bass River Marina offers transient slip rentals for drop-ins, overwinter storage, access to our full-service in-house service department, and access to our fully stocked Chandlery.

From our sheltered Horsefoot Cove location, our boaters can easily reach open water at Nantucket Sound in about 15 minutes. In the other direction, the protected waters of the so-called SpeedZone on the upper Bass River provide excellent water for waterskiing or tubing, quiet cruises along the riverbanks, or stops for picnics and fishing at quiet coves and inlets.

Bass River Marina’s improvements program, launched in 2015, calls for regular replacement of our floating docks, an expanded dry-slip storage building, and a major dredging of the marina’s channelway to the river
